Secure limited components for use with medical devices
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device comprising:
- a battery configured to supply power to the ambulatory medical device;
at least one sensor configured to acquire signals descriptive of a cardiac function of a patient, the at least one sensor including at least one sensing electrode;
at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one sensor;
at least one memory operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more instructions executable by the at least one processor to convert the signals to data descriptive of the cardiac function of the patient;
at least one patient care component executable by the at least one processor and configured to perform one or more primary operations of the ambulatory medical device at least in part by accessing the data descriptive of the cardiac function of the patient, the one or more primary operations including monitoring the cardiac function of the patient; and
a limited functionality component executable by the at least one processor and configured to process one or more commands to exchange information with a communication device, the limited functionality component being configured to not affect the one or more primary operations performable by the at least one patient care component during operation of the limited functionality component.

Abstract
In some examples, an ambulatory medical device is provided. The ambulatory medical device includes at least one sensor configured to acquire data descriptive of the patient, one or more processors in communication with the at least one sensor, a patient care component executable by the one or more processors, and a limited functionality component executable by the one or more processors. The patient care component is configured to perform one or more primary operations of the ambulatory medical device at least in part by accessing the data descriptive of the patient. The limited functionality component is configured to exchange information with a communication device and to not affect the one or more primary operations of the ambulatory medical device.

28. A system comprising:
-
a communication device in communication with an external sensor; and an ambulatory medical device configured to communicate with the communication device, the ambulatory medical device comprising; a battery configured to supply power to the ambulatory medical device; at least one sensor configured to acquire signals descriptive of a cardiac function of a patient; one or more processors operably coupled to the at least one sensor and in communication with the at least one sensor; at least one memory operably coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store one or more instructions executable by the one or more processors to convert the signals to data descriptive of the cardiac function of the patient; a patient care component executable by the one or more processors and configured to perform one or more primary operations of the ambulatory medical device at least in part by accessing the data descriptive of the cardiac function of the patient; and a limited functionality component executable by the one or more processors and configured to execute commands received from the communication device, the limited functionality component being configured to not affect the one or more primary operations performable by the patient care component during operation of the limited functionality component. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
